Another Dead Man's Comb

  Markus woke up after that nightmare and couldn't sleep all night, the thought of Brzenska chasing him with his own head creeped him out and he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.

  And that comb, combing his scalp, was so weird too.

  The next day at work, Markus wants to talk to Brzenska about the comb and wants to ask him where it came from.

  But it was only when he went to the electrical department that Markus got the shocking news that Brzenska had been dead for a long time! And it's been more than two months since she died. I heard she was in a car accident.

  Dead for over two months?Markus' head buzzed as if he'd been struck by lightning.

  How could that be? Markus had seen him a few times before at night. He couldn't be dead!

  But it's true, despite Markus' disbelief, Brzenska really did die two months ago.

  Markus and Brzenska weren't in the same department and didn't interact much, so it's normal for Markus not to know when Brzenska died.

  Markus was confused, in that case, Markus had Brzenska dead before he met the bald woman.

  The bald woman is not a ghost, she's just mentally ill, Brzenska is the ghost! He also lied to Markus that he couldn't see the bald woman, making Markus think that the woman was a ghost. What was his purpose?

  And why did Brzenska give him a comb?

 Markus shudders at the thought of that comb, the thing the ghost gave him!

  The bald woman had said that there was a kind of comb that dead people combed their hair with, called the Dead Man's Comb, could it be that the one Brzenska had given him was the Dead Man's Comb?

  It's too evil, no, when I get back, I'm going to burn that comb, and in the meantime, I'm going to burn some paper money for Brzenska so that he doesn't come back to haunt him, even though Markus doesn't have a clue as to why Brzenska is haunting him and giving him the comb.

 Markus tonight no longer had the heart to go to work, so he stayed on his feet and waited for the end of his shift, then rushed home and burned that one comb.

  But at the end of the day, Markus saw the little girl again, standing by the shelf of toys, her chubby little face still as cute as ever, salivating as she looked at the toys on the shelf, her eyes glistening.

  The bald woman had once asked her for a comb, but without success she had been taken away and was now presumably locked up inside a mental institution.

  "Little sister, where's your mommy?" Markus asked towards the little girl, he had seen the little girl twice but she didn't have a parent next to her, according to this age group, parents should not be far away.

  The little girl bristled and said that her mom didn't want her anymore and had left with another uncle, and that her dad drank a lot and beat her.

  Markus shook his head and sighed, another poor child, no wonder she appeared alone in the supermarket, looking at her eyes that longed for toys, he knew that she lacked a father's and mother's love.

  "Uncle will buy you one, okay? You pick one!" Markus said with great kindness.

  "Okay, thank you Uncle Baldy, I want that Snow White cloth doll." The little girl smiled sweetly and said with her little finger pointing at one of the cloth dolls.

  Markus heard this name, immediately full of black lines, he is only twenty-five years old, actually have to be called bald uncle, can be really diaphragmatic, but children's words, he did not put on the heart.

  It's just a little strange how this little girl knows he's bald when he's wearing a hat.

  Markus took the snow white doll with questions, said he would pay for it now and told the little girl to go wait for him outside.

  But the little girl shook her head, she wanted Markus to burn it for her or she couldn't get it.

  Markus froze for a moment, not understanding what this meant? Burn this thing to her? Wasn't it the dead who had to burn things?

  It was at this moment that Markus seemed to be struck by lightning, and the man unconsciously took a few steps backward, with a look of horror in his eyes.

  "Uncle Baldy, what's wrong with you?" The little girl asked innocently.

  Markus didn't answer, a bold idea came to his mind, he wanted to verify if this little girl was a ghost or not.

  Markus shook his hand, then reached for the little girl's shoulder, who didn't duck, but instead looked at him with a teasing smile on her face.

  Just then, a horrifying scene happened, Markus' hand, actually went through the little girl's body.

  Markus was startled, and hastily withdrew his hand, the man's face pale with fright.

  A ghost. This little girl is a ghost!

  "Hee hee hee hee, Uncle Baldy, you can't touch me, only I can touch you." The little girl laughed, then grabbed Markus' hand.

  Markus shivered coldly, the little girl's hand was so cold and extremely white that Markus shrank back with all his might.

  "Why are your ... hands so cold?" Markus asked in a nervous stammer.

  The little girl cocked her little mouth, expression a little forlorn, she said that day daddy brought an aunt back, that aunt looks bad, said daddy want to catch hide and seek with the little girl, also let the little girl hide in the refrigerator, daddy can't find forbidden to come out, or else daddy will also don't want her.

  The little girl was afraid that her father, like her mother, did not want her, so she hid in the refrigerator and never came out, and then the refrigerator was too cold, freezing the little girl's eyes sleepy, she couldn't support and then fell asleep ...

  Markus kind of heard what was going on, this little girl died so wrongly and so poorly, and what kind of parents are those that would give their child to a stinking woman like that?

  Hate it, but this little girl was a ghost after all, Markus hadn't seen many ghosts, of course he was afraid, he kept his distance from the little girl the whole time.

  "Little sister, after uncle buys this doll, he'll go out and burn it for you, so that's always okay, right?" Markus asked.

  "Uh-huh!" The little girl nodded heavily, then smiled adorably, and finally she instructed, "Uncle, my name is Zibig, and when you burn it, call me by my name."

  After saying that, the little girl gradually became transparent and then disappeared.

  "How fucking evil, why do I meet ghosts all day long!" Markus cursed fiercely in his heart before taking the doll to the checkout and then sneaking out to the deserted alley behind the supermarket to set the doll on fire, shouting Zibig as he did so.

  After the dolls were burned, Markus heard a cute childish yelp in his back and a pat on the back.

  But strangely enough, Markus turned around and didn't see anyone, just an extra comb behind his feet.

  This comb is very small and cute, with a lot of cartoon patterns on it, as if it is a child's comb.

  This comb, it couldn't be that little brat just now, could it? Then isn't this the comb the bald woman has been looking for?

  Markus thought about it and wasn't going to throw it away, but ghosted it into his pocket to take home.

  The little girl was a ghost, but she didn't seem to be bad in life or in death, and he didn't know why she had left him a comb, but he could trust that the little girl wouldn't harm him.

  After work, Markus went straight home, then bought some paper money and went up to the rooftop to burn it to Brzenska, and prayed with folded hands that Brzenska would not come back to him.

  They don't know each other well, and they have no grudges, so why pester him?

  But just then, suddenly Markus saw Brzenska standing on the opposite rooftop.

  Brzenska had a blood-red comb in his hand, and he kept combing it, but every time he did, a clump of hair fell out, and his scalp was covered in blood.

  "No, don't, Brzenska, don't come to me ..." Markus was so scared shitless that the man just sat on the floor.

  Brzenska laughed, blood kept oozing out of his mouth, and then with a click, he twisted his head off and tossed it at Markus.

  Brzenska has said that if that comb doesn't make Markus grow hair, he'll cut off his head and let Markus use it as a stool.

  With a grunt, the head rolled up next to Markus's ass, and as soon as Markus got up, he was able to sit on top of the creepy head.

  But Markus could not afford such a shock, his eyelids rolled over and he fainted.

  When he woke up, he saw a face covered in rouge powder, and that face just stared at him from top to bottom, extremely weird, as if he was looking at a dead person.

  It's that bald woman! How did she get released? Didn't she say she was in a mental hospital?

  Markus hastily pushes her away and asks what she's doing. Not staying well in the asylum and coming out to wait to be taken back again.

  As he said this, Markus' eyes carefully flicked to the opposite rooftop, and he was only slightly relieved when he didn't see Brzenska's, and of course, there were no heads next to his ass.

  "Where's the comb? The little girl's comb, give it to me." The bald woman immediately pounced on Markus, then yanked him up by his collar.
